CHAPTER I. 



Of the Government of the College, 



itii 



Secti^wI 1. The government of the College shall be vested in 
the President and Faculty, and shall be administered, as nearly as 
possible, after the manner of a well regulated family. Private ad- 
vice, aflfectionate entreaty, and frequent private admonitions, 
shall always precede the more stern measures of public admoni- 
tion, and exclusion from the institution, except when the offence 
is flagrant, and publicly committed. 

2» The President shall have power to direct in all matters 
relating to the College — to govern the students — and to notice 
and punish all crimes and violations of the laws of the College 
committed by them, unless in cases in which the same devolves 
by law on the Faculty. The Senior Professor shall discharge all 
the duties of the President in his absence, except his regular 
lectures and recitations. 

3. The Professors severally, shall have power to govern the 
students in their respective lecture rooms, and shall notice and 
punish all crimes and violations of the laws of the College, com- 
mitted there or elsewhere, as the same become kn6wn to them, 
except in cases where the infliction of punishment devolves on 
the Faculty; provided, that none may in any case proceed 
contrary to the advice of the President. 

4. The Faculty shall have power to direct the application of the 
ensuing statutes — to make all regulations for the general govern- 
ment of the College, not contrary to these statutes— and to annex: 
thereto such means of enforcement, as they may deem proper and 
necessary; provided that they shall be exclusively directed to a 
sense of moral obligation, and to the principles of virtue and 
honor, 

5. A stated meeting of the Faculty shall be held every week, 
or oftener if necessary, during the sessions of College, for the 



^M«HlHn«Mi«iii 



purpose of administering the government of the Institution, 
Special meetings, as often as business may require, shall be called 
by the President, either at his own discretion, or when a majority 
of the Professors may solicit them. In case of the absence of 
the President, the Faculty shall have full power to perform such 
acts of government as may to them seem necessary. 

6» The President shall appoint as Secretary some member of 
the Faculty, who shall make a faithful record of their proceedings 
in a book to be kept for that purpose, which shall at all times be 
open to the inspection of the Board of Trustees. In all meetings 
of the Faculty, the President, or in case of his absence, the sen- 
ior Professor present shall preside, and a majority shall consti- 
tute a quorum. 

7. When any member of the Faculty may wish to resign, he 
shall give three months previous notice thereof to the Board* 

8. The President is invested with the general supervision of 
the interests of the Institution, and shall, with the Professors, 
protect the property of the College. He shall, in the presence of 
the Faculty, exact a written agreement, as hereinafter provided 
for, from each student, on entering into College, and before he 
shall be allowed to recite with the class to which he is assigned ; 
and conduct the matriculation of the students, as provided for in 
the ensuing statutes. 

9. It shall also be the duty of the President, regularly to make 
to the Board at their annual meeting, a full and written report of 
the state of the College, the progress of literary improvement, 
the general state of discipline, the behaviour of the students, and 
whatever he may deem advantageous to submit to the attention 
of the Board. 

10* In addition to the usual duties of their respective profes- 
sorships, the Professor of Ancient Languages shall have charge 
of the Library, and officiate as Librarian, according to the rules 
to be adopted by the Faculty ; and at the annual meeting of the 
Board, he shall regularly make a written report of the state of 
the Library, noticing the increase by donations and purchase, and 
making any suggestions which he may think proper to submit to 



frmm 



a 



their consideration; — the Professor of Mathematics shall have 
charge of such parts of the Philosophical apparatus while in his 
use, as are necessary in the instruction of the youth in the branch- 
es of study which he conducts ; — the Professor of Natural Philoso- 
phy and Chemistry shall have charge of the rooms containing the 
Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus, as well as of the Labora- 
tory, the articles in which he is to preserve from all unnecessary 
waste or injury. He shall also report to the Board regularly, at 
their annual meeting, the state of these apparatus, giving a list of 
the mathematical and philosophical instruments, and the donations 
made from time to time, with the name of the donors, and such 
other matters as he may think proper to suggest. The Professor 
of Natural History shall have charge of the Museum and shall 
endeavor, from time to time, to enlarge it by a system of exchan- 
ges. He shall also make an annual report of its condition to 
the Board. 

11. The Professors shall deliver private Lectures to their classes 
upon the respective branches taught by them ; and each Professor 
may, with the consent and advice of the President, deliver a public 
course of Lectures upon the branch or branches contained in his 
department, for which he may issue tickets to any not members 
of the College; but the students. Professors, and Trustees shall 
be at liberty to attend gratis; and the students, or certain classes, 
may be required by the President to attend ; provided such public 
lecture shall not be delivered so as to interfere with the ordinary 
College duties. 

12. Whereas the presence of the President and Professors, as 
constantly as practicable, in the College buildings, is deemed 
essential to the good order and government of the Institution ; to 
secure this object, each Ofl&cer of Instruction shall be provided 
with a suitable private room for his study, as convenient to his 
lecture room as may be, in which he will be expected to spend 
those portions of his time devoted to books, and to the business 
transactions of the College.

% The commencement of each session, particularly of the 
winter session, shall be the stated period of admission. 

8. Every student, immediately at his entrance, shall subscribe 
the following agreement : — 

"I solemly promise, on my truth and honor, to observe and obey 
all the laws and regulations of Dickinson College,'^ 

For six months at least immediately succeeding his entrance, 
he shall be on probation ; at the end of which period, if he have 
satisfied the Faculty of his good moral character, and particularly 
that he does not use profane language, he shall be fully admitted 
as a member of the Institution, which shall be attested by regis- 
tering his name and age, with the name and place of abode of his 
parent or legal guardian, in "The Matriculation Book*'' But if 
such satisfactory evidence cannot be produced, he shall be pri- 
vately dismissed and sent home; which may also be done sooner, 
if circumstances require. 

4. The course of study shall comprehend Ancient and Modern 
Languages, Polite Literature, Ancient and Modern History, An- 
tiquities, the various branches of the Mathematics, the Philosophy 




of the Mind, the different departments of Natural, Moial and 
Political Science, and the Evidences of Natural and Revealed 
Religion. 

The text books in these branches, and the order in which they 
shall be studied, shall be prescribed by the Faculty, subject, 
however, at all times, to the supervision of the Trustees. 

5« There shall also be a Preparatory Department, in which the 
course of study shall be in general, such as is prescribed for ad- 
mission into College. To be admitted into this department, the 
student must be at least ten years of age, of good moral character, 
and acquainted with the elementary English branches. 

6. Those who may not wish to take a regular collegiate course, 
can pursue such studies as are adapted to their advancement, ei- 
ther in the College classes^ or in the preparatory department. 

7. No student shall, during the session, attend the instruction 
of any person who is not an Officer of the College, without spe- 
cial permission from the Faculty. 

8. It shall be the duty of the President to examine the hand- 
writing of every student, and if it be not fair and respectable, he 
shall cause such student to take the necessary instruction in wri- 
ting; for which the charge shall not exceed four dollars. 

9. If any student shall omit, or perform negligently, any lite- 
rary exercise, the same may, at the discretion of his Instructor, 
be afterwards required ; though such subsequent performance shall 
not excuse the previous delinquency. 

10. There shall be a general examination of all the students of 
College immediately preceding the close of each session, on the 
studies they shall have pursued from the beginning of the session 
to the date of the examination, opportunity having been allowed 
for revision. Also upon such other studies, books or subjects, as 
may be deemed necessary by the Professors severally, to test the 
scholarship of the students in their respective departments. 

11. The Senior class shall be examined for their degrees on all 
the studies of the College course, at a period not exceeding four 
weeks previous to the day of Commencement : and during the in- 
terval, the members of this class shall continue to pursue their 
studies under the direction of the Faculty, unless they receive 



\ i 

8 

permission to return home ; but shall not be required to recite 
nor be subjected to any examination with the other classes at the 
close of the session, 

12. Of any intermediate examinations, public notice shall be 
given by the Faculty at least two weeks previously. Of the final 
examination, notice shall also be given by written or printed cir- 
culars, addressed to the ^'Examining Committee,'* and such 
Trustees and others, as the Faculty may think proper. 

13« The examinations shall be strict, but not protracted, and 
shall be conducted by the Faculty in the presence of the Trustees 
and such other gentlemen as may attend. 

14. If any student shall absent himsfclf from an examination 
appointed by the Faculty, he shall be punished as the nature of 
the offence may require. 

15. If, at any examination, a student shall appear deficient in 
the studies pursued by his class, he shall, at the discretion of the 
Faculty, be directed to study during the succeeding vacation, be 
degraded from his class, or be dismissed from College. 

16. Every Professor and Instructor shall keep a regular roll of 
his classes, and note absentees, and any other circumstances which 
may tend to enable him to form a correct judgment of the pro- 
gress of each student. And at the end of each academic year, if 
the Faculty so direct, each Professor shall graduate his classes 
with reference to his own department. After this seperate grad- 
uation in each department, the Professors shall meet, and add 
their respective numbers together for each student in each class, 
and the result shall graduate the class absolutely. The morals 
and behavior, however, of each student, together with his per- 
formance at the public examinations^ shall be duly considered, 
and have their full weight in determining his standing, 

17. A monthly report of each student's deficiencies in atten- 
dance upon the literary exercises, upon chapel, and upon public 
worship, together with his deportment and attention to study, 
shall be forwarded to his parent or guardian. 



CHAPTER III. 

Of the Deportment of the Students* 

Section 1. The students are to consider themselves as mem- 
bers of a family, of which the Officers of Instruction are the re- 
spective heads, associated for purposes of improvement ; and they 
are to behave themselves accordingly* 

2. As, however the peculiar situation of students, brings with 
it peculiar obligations, the following offences are, for their better 
information, specified, as those which must be particularly guard- 
ed against : 

High Offences. — Unlawful combinations. — Disrespect to the 
Faculty or other Officer's of the Institution. — Riotous and noisy 
behaviour, to the disturbance of the College or of the inhabit- 
ants of Carlisle. — Refusing or neglecting to attend when requi- 
red by the Faculty or any Officer. — Disobedience to the sentence 
of the Faculty for any offence. — Refusing to give testimony in any 
case, when required by the Faculty, or falsifying therein. — Re- 
sisting or obstructing the Instructors or other Officers in the dis- 
charge of their duties, or encouraging similar acts in others. — 
Challenging, assaulting, or endeavoring to injure, any student.-— 
Wilfully defacing or injuring the buildings of the College, or any

of the land subjecting the offender to disgraceful punishment. 



10 

Possessing arty fire-arms, or other weapon, or using such in the 
borough of Carlisle.— Being connected with any military compa- 
ny, unless compelled thereto by the Laws of the State.— Being 
concerned inanybonfire,fire-works, or unauthorized illuminations, 
•—Attending, during the session, any ball, private dancing party,

similar resort.— Making or being present at any festive entertain- 
ment, or going to any tavern or victualling house, without permis- 
sion. — Leaving Carlisle or its immediate vicinity without special 
permission. 

Misdemeanors. — Among these may be enumerated. —

other noise in the College or Campus, except in hours of recrea- 
tion; or any conduct, at anytime, inconsistent with the habits 
of a well regulated family. — Throwing any water, dust, or other 
such thing, from any window or door of the building, or into any 
iire-place or hall. — Omitting any collegiate duty without previous 
permission. — Idleness, negligence, and, in general, all behaviour 
inconsistent with the good order, peace and prosperity of the 
College. 

8. The punishments which may be inflicted, are, the exaction of 
study in the hours of recreation and in vacation, private admoni- 
lion, official notice of delinquency to the parent or guardian, pub- 
lic admonition in presence of the class or of the whole College, 
suspension, dismission, degradation to a lower class, and expul- 
sion. The frequency and repetition of offences shall aggravate 
the punishment. But if any student shall speedily evince pei?i- 
tence for his fault, the Faculty are at liberty, on his private or 
public confession, to pass over the offlence, without entering the 
case upon their records. 

4. The period of suspension shall not exceed six months. But 
no student, whether suspended or dismissed, shall be restored with- 
out satisfactory evidence of improvement : and no student, who shall 
have been expelled, or twice dismissed, shall be re-admitted, except 
upon such evidence of contrition and reformation as shall be satisfac- 
tory to the entire Faculty. 



11 

5. Whereas offences of various kinds may be committed by a 
number of students, and it may be thought unnecessary to punish all 
the offenders ; in such cases, the Faculty may punish so many of 
them, as m.ay be necessary to secure good order, due regard being 
had in the punishment to the previous conduct and general character. 

6. As students may be guilty of disorders or misdemeanors, 
against which no express provision is made in these laws, a discre- 
tionary, or parental authority, must necessarily be lodged with the 
Faculty: therefore, where no statute is particularly provided for a case 
that may occur, they are to exercise this discretionary authority, and 
punish accordingly.
